May 19, 2017 – January 31, 2017 Phase 9B:

Tesla customers can give friends exclusive benefits on Model S, Model X and solar panels with their personal referral code. This is an overlay where referrals from Phase 9A are not reset so that if you already recieved 1 referral (with an e-mail of the redemption survey) you will get the Phase 9A prize of a toy Model S, but the referrals after September 28 will recieve the phase 9B prizes so your 2nd referral could be the toy Model S or Wall Connector. It seems the redemption e-mail receipt prior to the switch locks in the prize regime. If you were wanting a solar roof coupon, you need to get to 5 referrals in phase 10. This phase brings in the solar referral program to run in parallel. If you hadn’t received a prize survey from Phase 9A prior to 9/28/17 because you were waiting on deliveries to happen or Tesla to send them, you will get the Phase 9B prizes instead.
